The present document is part of a series of documents that specify charging functionality and charging management in 3GPP networks. The 3GPP core network charging architecture and principles are specified in TS 32.240. The present document specifies the converged charging description for the time sensitive networking domain based on the functional stage 2 description in TS 23.501, TS 23.502 and TS 23.503. This charging description includes the converged charging architecture, principles, requirements and scenarios specific to the time sensitive networking, with focus on the following charging scenarios: .

• the TSN 5GS bridge configuration and management charging.
• the enabler for time sensitive communication and time synchronization charging.
• the time sensitive communication traffic charging.

It further specifies the structure and content of the CDRs and the charging events for converged charging. All references, abbreviations, definitions, descriptions, principles and requirements, used in the present document, that are common across 3GPP TSs, are defined in TR 21.905. Those that are common across charging management in 3GPP networks/domains, services or subsystems are provided in the umbrella TS 32.240 and are copied into clause 3 of the present document for ease of reading. Finally, those items that are specific to the present document are defined exclusively in the present document.

The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.

• References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.
• For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
• For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.
